In "Considering Horsemanship (Chapters One Through Five)," one of America’s most loved and devoted equestrian writers, Tom Moates, takes an all new approach to thinking about horsemanship. The subtitle sums it up: "A Book of Ideas Inspired By a Decade of Harry Whitney Horsemanship Clinic Journals." Moates revisits the tattered pages of notebooks kept from each of the Harry Whitney clinics he has attended across America and begins each chapter with a quote from his mentor. These sage remarks act as launching points into in depth discussions on the topic of horsemanship. This Kindle book contains the first five chapters offered for a modest price—similar installments will be published as Kindle books along the way and when the book has been completed it will be published in full print and e-book editions.

There are miles of difference between journalists and writers, between reporting and telling a story. This is a sterling example of the latter. The writer here never gets in the way of what is a most engaging tale. The writer never succumbs to sensationalism or sentimentality, easy temptations with a subject of this nature. Word selection, pacing, organization--it's all here, beautiful in its simplicity, so much hard work appearing so effortless."
